For Christmas, my parents (dad and step-mom) gave me a gift card. I ordered the items online, due to its ease relative to taking a two year old to a store. It was for Victoria’s Secret, and in my mind, I would have ended up chasing a two year old around the store in nothing but pants and a bra.  Not a good dream…for me anyway.

I ordered online. I was checking out and thought I had hit the nail on the head, but when tax and shipping were added, I was one cent over the value of the gift card. I actually contemplated if I should remove an item or pay the one cent. Well Friday, the penny posted to my bank account and I got a good laugh.

It cost VS more to processes my penny than they recieved in payment, but they did it anyway.
